Hi, I have recently heard that there is an old cemetery, possibly named "Estilville" behind the courthouse in Gate city. Is this true, and does someone have a list of those who are buried there? I am interested in any Rameys that can be found. Thanks, Kathy Ramey Neel

Hi Kathy, I am also interested in this cemetery. I have been searching for a man named Clayton Ramey, maybe he's my great great grandfather.?? My great great grandmother was Kate Gibson born 1822 in Scott county Va, she had three illegitimate children, her first was named John born 1842 Scott county Va, Kate brought the three boys to Ky and after they were grown and married John changed his name to Ramey and another one changed his name to Collins, and the third died before changing his name. I decend from John Ramey, I was told the reason Kate Gibson did not marry Clayton Ramey was because he was already married to a Indian woman and had several children. If anyone knows anything about a Clayton Ramey or Kate Gibson please contact me.

I have the Scott co index of Cemetery records. There is a Gate City/Estill cemetery listed with the note that is detailed in book 1 pages 107-114. The name index has a full page three columns of Ramey listed in various cemeteries in Scott County. Phyllis Peterson is the one that transcribed the original six books and created the index I have. There is a William Walter Ramey in the Estill cemetery details would be on page 109 Annie Kate is on page 108 in book 1 William P Hilton is listed on page 107 Many Hiltons are buried in the Hilton cemetery shown on page 131-139 book 1 and updated in book 3 page 133 There is a Hilton grid on the map shown in the front of the index. Hope this will give you a little help in knowing which book to order. I have found Phyllis very helpful and a great source of detailed info. Teresa & Jack jatsh@msn.com
